Comparative Fugacity-Based Multimedia Evaluation of Fungicides: Triflostrobin and Kresoxym-Methyl

Pesticides are extensively used in agriculture and other industries to regulate pests and diseases. However, it is vital to recognize the environmental effects of pesticides, as their use can have important effects on the human well-being and the environment. Fungicides, a type of pesticide used to combat fungi that harm crops and livestock, play a vital role in reducing agricultural and animal health risks. A fugacity-based multimedia method, EQC Level III, is used to assess the environmental fate of two Oximinoacetate fungicides, Kresoxym-Methyl, and Trifloxystrobin. As part of the study, the relevant partitioning and reactive qualities are assessed. If equal amounts of Kresoxym-Methyl and a Trifloxystrobin are released into the air, water, and soil, both are expected to be present in the underwater sediment compartment at very low amounts (< 1%). Trifloxystrobin is projected to be mostly prevalent in water 52.7%, soil 24.7%, and followed with 21.1% in air, while the majority of Kresoxymi-Methyl 55.5% is present in soil, followed by water 38.6%, and with the minor amount in air 5.93%. It has been determined that the most common way to remove both Trifloxystrobin and Kresoxim-Methyl from soil, water, and air compartments is through reaction. The calculated air to soil and air to water transfer rates of both Kresoxim-Methyl and Trifloxystobin are comparable. In the typical EQC model setting, Kresoxim-Methyl and Trifloxystrobin are anticipated to have comparable residence time in the environment.
